US engineering services firm Parsons has promoted Thomas Topolski executive vice president, infrastructure business development to help extend the company’s infrastructure portfolio while also leading proposal operations.

In his new role, Topolski will be based at the company’s Centreville office in Virginia and report to Carey Smith, Parsons’ chief operating officer.
